An organization wants to collect and store all logs generated by applications running in Google Cloud. Which service should they use?

Cloud Profiler analyzes CPU and memory usage of running applications, not log collection.

Cloud Monitoring collects metrics and creates dashboards and alerts, but is not the primary service for storing application logs.

Cloud Trace tracks request latency and distributed traces across services, not application log storage.

Cloud Logging is specifically designed to collect, store, and analyze log data generated by Google Cloud services and applications. It provides a centralized log management platform with features for log-based metrics, alerting, and long-term retention. The other observability tools each serve distinct purposes unrelated to raw log collection and storage.
